Arriva is introducing contactless payment on the bus an area at a time

Purchasing bus tickets or topping-up your m-ticket account is now easier than ever - do it at your local shops next time you drop in for milk or to pick up a paper. Just look out for shops with any of these signs.

Fast, efficient and convenient

We've teamed up with PayPoint and Payzone to offer you a fast, efficient and convenient bus ticket service almost on your doorstep. Both sell Arriva bus tickets, and PayPoint outlets can also top-up your m-ticket account.

You can buy a selection of tickets on your Arriva bus, from single tickets, to weekly saver. Please try to remember to have the correct far as the drivers may not always have change and then all you need to do is find a seat, sit back and enjoy your journey.
